Below is the instructions from the W2K help to setup the pc as a VPN Client. I would make the XP machine a VPN Server. I can't remember the details, since I don't have an XP machine here, but I know its easy. Check the help on the XP machine. I would make both pc's members of the same workgroup and you may want to logon to each with the same user name and password. Then try to connect from the W2K pc to the XP pc. Let me know how it goes. I never tried gaming over VPN.
To make a virtual private network (VPN) connection
Open Network and Dial-up Connections.
Double-click Make New Connection, and then click Next.
Click Connect to a private network through the Internet, and click Next.
If you have already established a dial-up connection, do one of the following:
If you need to establish a connection with your ISP or some other network before tunneling to your destination computer or network, click Automatically dial this initial connection, click a connection in the list, and then click Next.
If you do not want to automatically dial an initial connection, click Do not dial the initial connection, and then click Next.
Type the host name or IP address of the computer or network to which you are connecting, and then click Next.
Do one of the following:
If you want this connection to be made available to all users on your network, click For all users, and then click Next.
If you want to reserve the connection for your own use, click Only for myself, and then click Next.
If you want to let other computers access resources through this dial-up connection, select the Enable Internet connection sharing for this connection check box, and then click Next.
Type a name for the connection, and then click Finish.
Notes
To open Network and Dial-up Connections, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Network and Dial-up Connections.
To make the connection available to all users, you must be logged on as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
You can create multiple VPN connections by copying them in the Network and Dial-up Connections folder. You can then rename the connections and modify connection settings. By doing so, you can easily create different connections to accommodate multiple hosts, security options, and so on.
